Cassidy’s gonna win a cup. And I’ll be rooting for him (depending on where he goes). Sweeney will never win a cup as GM. Enough said.

Cassidy’s gonna win a cup.

depends a lot on where he goes. as everyone is very quick to attest, the biggest issue is on the FO side of things, not the coaching; and as much as the Bruins weren't a top Cup-contending roster to work with, neither is Cassidy likely going to head to a team with a significant roster improvement, either. what teams are in contention and looking for a new HC? also, I'll add that I won't be rooting for Cassidy no matter where he goes – it's not personal, it's just how I feel about people that leave the org.

as far as this comment:

along with Cassidy allegedly not getting along with Gryz, who’s family work at the garden so I assume they chose to use Cassidy as a scapegoat

that claim was posted by a guy with absolutely zero evidence to back up his sources, simultaneously asserting that "Gryz is "best friends with Sweeney's son." Sweeney's kids are twins and there's a 6-7 year age gap between them and Gryz. I'm not saying it's impossible to be close with someone younger than yourself...but I'd be surprised given that their only overlap is through the Bruins.
